| Quote: |
Rasheed Wallace is an All-Star for the fourth time. He's not thrilled.
"I'd rather be a Bahamanian," he said after the East team practiced on Saturday.
Detroit's combustible forward didn't plan to spend the NBA's midseason mini-vacation in New Orleans, but he was recently named a replacement for Boston's Kevin Garnett, who is sidelined with an abdominal strain.
So Sheed, where were you supposed to be?
"The Bahamas, man, me and my wife," he said. "She had it all planned out for us. But as you can see I got sidetracked to this."
Wallace, whose volcanic temper on the floor has earned him more than his share of technical fouls, was asked for his reaction when he learned he wouldn't be getting any time away from basketball.
"Hot," he said. "But she was more hot than me. She wanted to do it as a little surprise, but hey, we had to come here. I thought she was going to beat me up."
Wallace missed Friday's required media availability because he, ahem, missed a flight. But is that really what happened?
"It was the real joint," he said. "I wouldn't have done that or I would have not come at all. That was strictly accidental." |

To be honest...is there really a point to the ASG these days? The timing in the middle of the season has always been awkward as well.
It's not even a significant break either....just a few days to for most teams.
It's just a marketing event for the NBA. They should hold it after the season ends...like the NFL does with the Pro Bowl.

 I think we were talking about this in another thread, I said I was surprised that Stern would pick Sheed for the ASG and someone replied it was probably some punishment.
